The Bible teaches that God loves all men and wants them to know Him. But man is separated from God and His love.
“God is on one side and all the people on the other side.”(1 Timothy 2:5)
Why is man separated from God and His love? Because man has sinned against God.
“Your sins have cut you off from God.”(Isaiah 59:2)
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23)
Where does this separation lead? This separation leads only to death and certain judgment.
“Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”(Hebrews 9:27)
“Those who do not know God . . . will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord.”(2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)
| BUT, THERE IS A SOLUTION! THERE IS HOPE!
Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, is the ONLY way to God.
“God is on one side and all the people on the other side, and Christ Jesus, Himself man, is between them to bring them together, by giving His life for all mankind.”(1 Timothy 2:5-6)
“Christ died for sins once for all . . . to bring you to God.”(1 Peter 3:18)
Does this include everyone? Yes. But only those who personally receive Jesus Christ into their lives, trusting Him to forgive their sins, can cross this bridge. |

“To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”(John 1:12)
Jesus says, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with Me.”(Revelation 3:20)
How does a person receive Jesus Christ? Everyone must decide individually whether to receive Christ.
Jesus said, “You may ask Me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”(John 14:14)
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”(Romans 10:13)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”(Romans 10:9-10)
Therefore, if you pray sincerely, asking Him this:
Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner and I ask through the blood of your son Jesus Christ that you forgive me of all my sin. Please be my Savior and Lord and I invite you into my heart. This very moment I commit my life to you.
|
If you prayed this prayer and invited Jesus Christ into your life, the Bible says you now have eternal life.
“God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”(1 John 5:11-12)
